23 Thoughts You Have Working In A Uniform Warehouse

For the past three months, I have spent my summer days tucked away in a uniform warehouse. I have rarely seen the sun, my skin is paler than it was in May, and other than the people, I hated every aspect of being there. Standing around in mainly silence for eight hours a day gave me plenty of time to think. Thus, this list was born. Here are just a few of the things that crossed my mind as I folded some Oxford button downs.

1. Is it five yet?

2. I’ve been here for one minute and my feet already hurt.

3. Does everyone here hate themselves for working here as much as I do?

4. Aaaaannnndd the fridge is already full. Perfect.

5. Why are all of these boxes just hanging out of the shelves? Do people not know how to push things back in?

6. I wonder what the weather is like outside.

7. OH MY GOD WHAT IS THAT SOUND? THERE ARE HORSES ON THE CEILING.

8. Oh...it’s just raining.

9. I wonder what fun things my friends are doing right now.

10. This probably isn’t good for my low Vitamin D count.

11. I feel no sympathy for any of these people getting their uniforms the last week of August.

12. This size is definitely here. It says we have 32 in stock-and the box is empty.

13. Alright I’m going to guess how much time has passed since I’ve been working. I’ll underestimate though, just in case. Let’s say...two hours. checks phone It’s 9:30.

14. All I’m saying is, I definitely didn’t have this rash before I started working here.

15. Where would I go if we all played hide-and-seek?

16. The smell of cardboard makes me wish I didn't have a nose.

17. Did I actually just get a blister from making boxes?

18. I swear to God if I hear Desposito one more time.

19. Oh look, it's the UPS guy that makes a jingle noise when he walks.

20. Oh look, its the FedEx guy that blasts Latin music.

21. If your last name is “Hiscock,” why would you have kids?

22. I could go over to the next aisle, grab a ladder, bring it over to the shelf, climb it despite my fear of heights, and check to see if we really do have one shirt left. Or, I could not do any of that.

23. Guys, c’mon it’s five. We can leave. LET’S GO.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

#EnglishMajorProbs

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

27 Things 'The Office' Has Taught Us

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time. Ever heard of “pain is temporary, but GPA is forever?” Pre-meds don’t just embody that motto; we live and breathe it. Here are 10 symptoms you’re down with the pre-med student syndrome.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.

You are basically a zombie with a pencil.

You receive confused looks from others when you name drop an author/literary terminology.

You wear your suffering as a badge.

You cringe when you read a non-English major's paper,

You could spend all day in a library.

Bros should always come before hoes because...

Declaring bankruptcy isn't as hard as we all thought.

Office places can be weird and stressful at times.

Michael Scott loves Dunder Mifflin and the Scranton Office more than anything.
